Registered to say that I would also be purchasing at least 1 block for the Sapphire variant.
Does Alphacool plan waterblock for AMD AI PRO R9700?
- Thread starter Apoll
- Start date
I would take 2x of the Sapphire variant.
I have currently power-limited the cards from 300W to 220W, because the stock cooler is inadequate. In particular, the RAM gets way too hot when under full load. I suspect that the DRAM chips on the backside of the board are not properly cooled. I hope that your water-cooler can also provide enough cooling to the back side.

Just as some general information:
There are no preorder lists that you can sign up for.
Which models will be covered 100% in the end remains to be seen. At the moment, it almost looks as if the PCB layouts do not differ at all, apart from tiny details.
The coolers are still in development, as we are still waiting for two graphics cards in order to carry out physical tests with the samples. After that, it will take at least another six weeks until they are available. In short, you will certainly have to be patient for about another two months.

If would be great if you could post here once a decision has been made about which brand(s) of cards you will produce coolers for.
I am ready to buy cards even if the coolers are still months out, but I would want to avoid ending up with a type that won't see a cooler.

The PowerColor and Sapphire cards will definitely fit. We will also physically test the Asus card shortly. At first glance, it looks very promising that the cooler will fit there as well.
We will also check Gigabyte.
Basically, all PCBs seem to look the same so far, except for one connector on the back, which some cards appear to have and others do not.
